Is it safe to be active at 5 weeks?

Question

So I just found out I am pregnant with my first. Is there anything I should avoid doing? I’m usually pretty active. I like to stay busy at home. Is there anything I shouldn’t be lifting or any house hold chores not to do right now? I’m a little paranoid lol and just wanna be safe for the baby. Thanks so much! 💕💕

Answer

You can do anything you were doing prepregnancy unless dr tells you not to :) I slow down if I start getting cramps.

Answer

No toxic cleaning products, but other than that you’re good to go unless doctor says otherwise.

Answer

If you have a cat don’t clean the litter box. My doctor told me there was something in their urine that’s not good for pregnant women to be around!
Ps congrats 🙌🏼

Answer

You can lift whatever you were lifting pre-pregnancy. There is not a set pound limit. I’m 30 weeks and I still lift weights at the gym. Just recently had to drop the weight amount (back squatting 125lbs and dead lifting 115).
I know I’m talking about working out, but the same applies at home. You can still lift laundry, groceries, boxes, etc. Some women (especially older women) will tell you not to lift more than a few pounds. Not true. 
Talk to your doctor in case you have other circumstances that apply to your situation, and listen to your body. 
Bast of luck!

Answer

you can do pretty much everything you used to do, just dont lift anything over 25 pounds or so :)
